Question:

How do I search for sponsors for an all Male gospel Mime dance group.?

Im currently the Leader of my gospel mime group, and I was having trouble finding a sponsor for such. Would you know of any sites, or people you can refer me to. If so, I will be so thankful. Thank you


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: A local church in my town has an annual rummage sale, goods donated by the members of the chuch to help members in need. The church gets half, you get half.
The ideas he came up with to raise money for a skateboard park was so outragous, the whole town pitched in. You could rent a goat for a week, then have the goat end up at a friend's place cause you sponsored the goat again. We have many farmers in the Pacific Northwest.
As an artist and especially a mime artist you are actually seeked after. When I lived in Montreal City, the mime artists on the side walk always drew a huge crowd. Go out there, go perform publicly on the side walk and put a box for people to donate. Perform for free and people will financially support you. You are not begging, you are an artist on its way to survive.
Art is supported more than you think. What if an agent saw you on the side walk and approached you.
You see I have a friend who has a dance school. She started one step at a time. She starved for years. Today her dance troop have major sponsors. She is finally making a living with her dream.
Spring is around the corner. Fairs are around the corner.

Create a flyer, you have a computer. Make an advertising ad of your dance group, an informative one you pass out at church. An Info ad. Not to announce the next performance but to relay a mission statement. Who are you, Why are you an all male dance group. What is your goal. Is this a hobby or a career. Become stars on your own, then the sponsors will show up.
